Abstract excerpt
Linkage between body length (anus to nose (AN) length) and three markers on the mouse X Chromosome was found in an interspecific backcross ((C57BL/6J x Mus spretus) F 1x C57BL/6J), designated BSB. A cross of 409 mice were scored for 148 genetic markers distributed on all chromosomes except the Y Chromosome.
